Too many people gloss over the fact that as antonymous people, kids can be right bastards.
The challenge: teach your kid to not be a right bastard without being a right bastard to them.
It's much harder than it sounds.

too many people want to have kids but don't want to parent
some significant part of this is just catch-all fear for “this is not the child I ordered” I think

The more I've learned about WW2, the more abhorrent the framing and whitewashing in the west has become.
The vast majority of german casualties were on the eastern front.
There was no german-soviet pact until right before the invasion of poland, when they signed a non-aggression deal.

Watched a video recently about haptic visuality and the feeling of realism in movies. It mentioned how modern movies often have flat lighting and shallow depth of focus to allow more options in post.
There are definitely times when it's good to pull focus on objects or faces.
But there are risks

I am guilty of not paying close attention to lyrics.
As a musician, this is a bit embarrassing at times.
However, in my defense, I have delayed audio processing, and I became accustomed to music in multiple languages.
All that said, it took me like 8 listens to get Sabrina Carpenters "Tears".

Capitalism.
Literally “you do all the work, I keep all the money.”
Wealth inequality is a feature, not a bug.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power.
It’s a vicious cycle that destroys our economy and democracy at the same time.

It’s maddening to include Soviet symbols when Russia is actively persecuting communists.
Folks are still participating in anticommunist, anti Soviet Union propaganda decades after the fall of the USSR.

One of the things that took me longer than I'd like to admit to wrap my head around, especially as I begun reading Marx & Lenin was: it's not just about class in the USA.
Those on the left have to understand, this country is founded on racism.

I am fond of the mute and block functions here.
Thank goodness.
One of the things reading Marxist theory has made me realize is: there is little value in arguing minutia in the "marketplace of ideas".
When someone here says something asinine, I can simply mute or block them. It's wonderful.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

It’s what happens when a beast requiring infinite growth smacks into the reality of finite resources and a fragile ecosystem.

Growing up, it was all "German precision".
Turns out, they are simply slaves to process. The country has a horrible history of antisemitism and in the attempt to correct, implemented rigid laws.
Now, when genocide is happening, bc one of the parties might cross their laws, they can't change.

Germany is offering asylum to donkeys from Gaza. Gaza’s children? Not allowed. | Germany is now taking in animals from Gaza while refusing entry to injured and sick Palestinians. The message is clear: in Germany’s hierarchy of “valuable” life, Palestinians are valued less than animals.

I'm now checking book samples any time I find a book I'm interested in. Why? So many modern authors are using present tense.
WHY?!?
Please stop y'all, it's such a limited way to tell stories and.. god I hate it so much.

As someone who loves trains, this makes me so damn sad.
When it costs far more to take a train and takes days to get there, in 2025, things are out of control.
I rode trains all over Europe and would love to travel Asia doing the same.

What is wrong with my brain?
I seriously don’t get some shows. SO watching Pluribus and folks raving.
One episode was enough for me.
I don’t know why I can suspend disbelief for some shows but absolutely can’t for others,no matter how popular or even good.
Being ND is exhausting sometimes.

There are some good moments now and again, but most of it seems to fundamentally not get it.

Dang. It’s so hard for my brain to suspend disbelief sometimes.
Tried to watch Pluribus and noped out after one episode.
I dunno what it is about high concept shows, but they read as too contrived to my brain and I can’t get past the idea.
